Book The Temperance Society

Victorian Walkabout Act

Is your deportment dreadful? Has your etiquette evaporated? Are your morals meagre or missing? Indeed is your sobriety sodden with sin? Then never fear, the Victorians are here, to help you mend your ways. Theyre frightfully proper, sombre and stern, with a terribly stiff upper lip. With a rustle of crinoline and a crackle of starch theyll dust down your decorum, stiffen your backbone, and sort out your p’s from your q’s. Arriving in a whirlwind of petticoats, these Victorian crusaders are the very model of virtue you need in these times of excess!

The Temperance Society at Christmas (the festive version of this show)
Ever fearful of the festive frivolities The Temperance Society is on a mission to keep you on the straight & narrow this Yuletide season. So if you’re drowning in a sea of depravity then clamber aboard the lifeboat of morality!

Both Victorian Walkabout acts are available as a one – five person comic walkabout show.

The premise of The Temperance Society is restraint from fun & frivolity; all done with tongue firmly wedged in cheek! They have pledges to be signed, pointers on etiquette & deportment, and apparatus to help determine whether ‘one’ has the remotest chance of reform or is a lost cause! These ‘shocked & shockable’ Victorian characters make a hilarious addition to festivals, parties & festivities in general.

Standard Length of Performance:
The standard length of performance is 3 x 30 or 2 x 45 minutes.
